Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss why the federal government may become active to solve problems dealing with the economy or natural disasters.
2, Discuss when the government is most likely to intervene: when issues affect national security; when events focus a lot of attention on an issue; when issues of inequality arise; and in issues where the federal government has constitutional authority.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe generally each of the three models of judicial decision makingattitudinal, strategic, and legal.
2, Explain that only the strategic model suggests that judges are concerned with how the other branches of government will react to their decisions.
3, Indicate that under the strategic model, judges see themselves as strategic actors in a larger political environment, which may require them to subsume individual policy preferences (attitudinal model) or the plain legal answer (legal model).
